Imagine tucking into a yummy breakfast with convivial friends while gazing out at a spectacular, panoramic ocean view, including the historic wreck of the SS Alkimos. Green lawn spreads out in front of you, leading to a children’s playground to one side. Very relaxed oceanside vibe.

We will be following part of the Western 4WDer Magazine  4WD Days out of Perth trip #1  which follows a series of forestry tracks from "the Lakes" past Mt Observation before circling the edge of the water catchment area through undulating Wandoo forest.

This will be an easy trip and suitable for all Subaru's and we expect to be back at Sawyers Valley about 9:30pm

It’s summer time so how about a trip to the cooler climes of the south coast.

The Kaarakin Clean-ups are on again! Come out for a Sunday morning drive to Kaarakin Black Cockatoo Sanctuary and help clean up around the WA 4WD Association Meeting Room building. We won't clean up inside as that area is under repair after a flood.

It's a good chance to meet people from other Clubs and have a chat. Morning Tea is provided.

Knowing how to provide first aid is important in all aspects of our lives whether it be at home, work or undertaking a club trip. It is hoped we never have to use it, but it is better to prepared and know what to do in the event someone requires first aid. Come and join fellow club members to obtain your First Aid Certificate!

The Club did a trip to see about half of the Hunt Wells in 2022. This trip will check out the remainder of the Hunt Wells, as far east as Kambalda, and then spend some enjoyable time in the Great Western Woodlands on the return trip.

What better place to spend a long-weekend than camping for 3 nights on the beautiful Turquoise Coast, only about 2½ - 3 hours north of Perth, and about 2 km north of Green Head.

Yes, I’m talking about the Milligan’s Island Eco Camping Node. It’s essentially coastal bush camping with no power or running water (the Eco bit). There are 36 camp sites, 2 long drop toilets (I will bring a chemical toilet to share), 3 shade shelters, and 2 gas BBQs. The camp sites are large with a compacted surface that defeated Mary’s drill tent pegs last year but there were some handy rocks available.

There are many activities available including beach fun (swimming, snorkelling, fishing, kayaking), the Three Bays Walkway - Dynamite Bay in Green Head, drives through the Pinnacles in Nambung NP, Stockyard Gully Cave, Mt Lesueur NP, Wanagarren 4WD Track, bakery & café visits in Lancelin, Cervantes & Jurien Bay and more.

All sites are booked out. Contact Joy to have your name put on a Wait List in case someone drops out.

Cancellation before 24 hours is allowed. See the Camp Site Information below for booking details.

Note: Maximum 8 cars.

It’s been a while since we were last there so let’s revisit the Karara Rangelands Conservation Park.

The Karara Rangelands Park is situated between Payne’s Find, Yalgoo and Perenjori. It is about 420 km NE of Perth. The Park consists of what were 6 former pastoral stations including Karara, Warriedar, Thundelarra and Lochada and is now managed by DBCA as a conservation reserve.

This trip departs Perth on 16th June 2024 to travel north and onto the Gibb River to explore some of the attractions it has to offer.  At the end of the Gibb we will visit Wyndham and Kununurra.
